P.M Rowley Will Have To Wait SIX (6) Months Before Getting COVID-19 Vaccine

Following this morning’s announcement that Prime Minister Keith Rowley tested positive for COVID-19, Chief Med­ical Of­fi­cer, Dr. Roshan Paras­ram, said the Prime Minister will now have to wait six (6) months for his vaccine.

This, Dr. Parasram noted, is ac­cord­ing to the World Health Or­gan­i­za­tion (WHO) recommendations, which states that any­one who has test­ed pos­i­tive for COVID-19 must wait six (6) months be­fore get­ting the vac­cine.

The Prime Minister was set to get his As­traZeneca vaccine to­day, but he will not be el­i­gi­ble now until October 2021.

At­tor­ney Gen­er­al, Faris Al-Rawi, stated that the rest of the Cab­i­net is not be­ing test­ed for COVID-19, nor are they part of the Con­tact Trac­ing process as they have not had any in-per­son Cabinet meet­ings in some time.
